"It is an opportunity for Tulsa to go nationwide on our investigations and maybe we are doing some things that other departments can look at and say, ‘Well, maybe we should employ that tactic or method,'" said Walker.

Or, Walker said, maybe they will learn some things from other cities; either way, the camera crews are here to stay for another six months.

"The good thing is, it gives the detectives that are actually doing the heavy lifting a chance to get out and shine," Walker said.

Detectives, like 26 year veteran Dianna Baumann, who said she's gotten used to the cameras being around.

“You kind of feel left out if they're not there in case they miss something, so it is kind of an odd relationship,” Baumann said.

Walker said even once the crews pack up and leave they will treat each investigation like they did while they were here and before they even arrived.

Different homicides in the city will be focused on each week throughout the season.
